ARE CARBS EQUALLY CREATED? – (07-18-05)

Rye Bread Enhances the Production and Plasma Concentration of Butyrate but Not the Plasma Concentrations of Glucose and Insulin in Pigs

Okay, so this is a pig study, but given what a large chunk of the US population eats…. Anyway, this study compared the effects on the GI tract and glycemic response of rye vs wheat and demonstrates beautifully that carbs are not all created equal.

Basically, the fiber in rye was much stronger at stimulating butyrate production (which leads to healthier GI tracts and less cancer risk) as well as a much lower glycemic response in the bloodstream. However, this study used actual rye, not the highly processed “wheat bread disguised as rye” seen most often.

What Others Are Saying

I had severe and limiting use of my right arm due to a fall while hiking, after a few sessions, I no longer have pain in my shoulder area and can raise my arm high in the air and rotate my shoulder for a full range of motion.

When I came to Dr. Pangburn for Mesa Chiropractic treatment, I was walking like Quasimodo. I had had about every medical test available trying to determine why my hip was so painful. They all came back with the same results – no problem. Dr. Pangburn diagnosed the problem immediately, and within two months I was walking almost straight, with very little pain. I can only be thankful for Dr. Pangburns expertise.
